Tokyo Consult: How to get from Narita Airport to Tokyo city. How to get from Narita Airport to Tokyo city. Bus and Train information counter at Narita airport Narita airport is located approximately 50 miles (80 kilometers) from Tokyo city. Getting from Narita airport to the city might make first time travelers feel a bit uneasy. It is actually surprising easy to do in a area where the public transportation system is best established in the world. -To read about how to plan your trip to Tokyo, visit Planning for your trip to Tokyo -To read about where you can find the best Ramen in Tokyo, visit Best Ramen in Tokyo. Rental Car For most of the people from North America, rental cars might come into mind. However, dealing with international driver's license, rental car process, new driving rules (on the opposite side of the road) and lack of parking spaces in Tokyo city, are definitely complicated and intimidating in one of the busiest city in the world. Driving a rental car is definitely not recommended for first time travelers in Japan. I would reserve this option for more advanced travelers and will possible discuss about this topic in my future blog post. -Advantage: Freedom.

-Disadvantage: Trouble; Cost; Parking issues; Traffic. Taxi It is perhaps the easiest method. All you need to do is to wave at one right after you get out of the airport terminal. Imagining paying for taxi for a 50 mile (80 kilometer) ride. The cost might be as high as 40,000 yen one way. That is close to 500 USD or 400 EURO. Traffic might also get in the way of the taxi ride and adds to the high cost of taxi fare. Traffic in Tokyo could add an additional hour to your total taxi ride. Sure it is convenient and easy, but I rather reserve this option for when someone else is paying for my ride or when I have won the lottery ticket. -Advantage: Easy; No need to drag luggage on the streets. -Disadvantage: COST!!! Traffic Public Transportation In my opinion, public transportations are the best ways to get from Narita airport to the city center. With the rising cost of travel expenses and exchange rate, the cost-performance value is high with public transportation. Most of the train stations access are located in the basement of Narita terminals.

As soon as travelers go through the customs, look for signs directing to basement train ticket office/platform. Train JR Narita Express Modern, fast , and simple choice for first time travelers. The cost is approximately 3,000 to 3,500 for one way trip. Round-trip ticket with SUICA card package offers lower rate and it is a great deal in my opinion. Narita Express train line stops at major stations in Tokyo, which include Tokyo, Shinagawa, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro. The travel time will be around 60 to 80 minutes depending on the destination. -Advantage: Fast; Convenient; Covered by JR Pass; Smooth ride; Reserved seats; No traffic. -Disadvantage: Only stops at major stations in the city; not the cheapest option. JR Train (Sobu Line) Local train that takes you from the airport terminal to Ueno. It is one of the cheapest options to get from the airport to the city. The train will stop at many local stations. There will be many budget travelers riding this train. The time it takes to get to the city will be approximately 90 minnutes.

Costs around 1200 to 1500 yen for an one-way ride. -Advantage: Inexpensive; Mostly commuter locals. No traffic. -Disadvantage: Slower than other options; Not the most comfortable train ride. No reserved seats and seats are limited; Travelers might be standing during the entire train ride. Fastest/Newest option Narita/Tokyo has to offer. It takes approximately 45 minutes to get from Narita to Ueno/Nippori station. Reserved seats. Cost is about 2,000 to 2,500 yen. Package deals with one/two-day Metro pass are also available. -Advantage: Fast, bullet-train-like speed. Reserved seats. Slightly cheaper than Narita Express. No traffic. -Disadvantage: Stops at Nippori and Ueno station only, it will require transfer on other train lines in order to get to your final destination. Not the cheapest option. Keisei (Keisei Limited Express) Similar to local JR train ride. Inexpensive option that costs around 1,000 to 1,200 yen. No reserved seats.

It takes slightly over an hour to get from Narita to Ueno/Nippori area. It will usually require transfer of train if the final destination is not Ueno/Narita. -Advantage: Inexpensive. No traffic. -Disadvantage: Slower than other options; Not the most comfortable train ride. No reserved seats and seats are limited, one might be standing during the entire train ride. Bus (Limousine Bus) It is the most convenient option if you are carrying a big suitcase. Travelers would not have to drag their suitcases across the streets when taking the bus. The bus company staff will place your luggage in the bus storage and drop them when you get off at your destination. The bus stops usually include major hotels and major metropolitan bus stops. Due to traffic, the bus might take up to 90 to 120 minutes to get to the city. The cost of the bus ride is approximately 3000 yen. Package deals are also available for the Limousine bus and Metro pass.

The bus company counter is located right on the first floor of the Narita airport, signs of the counter are visible right after going through the custom; Bus company staff will be standing near the counter and answer questions for travelers. -Advantage: Convenient; Comfortable; Better sightseeing of the streets; Reserved seats. -Disadvantage: Stops only at major hotels and metropolitan train stops. There might be other options of getting from Narita to Tokyo, but the options I listed are the most practical ones for first time travelers. ADVANTAGE of Narita airport vs. Haneda airport - More options on mode of transportation that takes you into the city. - Airport transportation give you more options on your destination in the city. - Chances to ride Nartia Express train and Skyliner train. - Possible more flight options into Narita airport. What would you take to get from the airport into Tokyo city?

Posted by More than an airport, Narita is a must-see city | CNN Travel More than an airport, Narita is a must-see city More than an airport, Narita is a must-see city A few minutes by train from the airport, this colorful city actually makes you want a layover By Lisa Jardine 17 May, 2012 Hey -- look over there. It's one of Japan's best tourist spots. No, really. A quick stop in London, then on to New York for a few days, before that final stretch in Tokyo -- it sounds like a typical travel itinerary for any modern, jet-setting CEO or a particularly unimaginative traveler. They are the world’s three busiest cities in terms of air traffic for a reason, after all. But which of them offers an overnight layover right beside a major airport that’s so accessible and enjoyable you’ll look forward to each takeoff or touchdown there? If you’ve done London and NYC to death, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s Tokyo. More specifically, Narita ; Japan’s best-known airport, attracting upwards of 35 million fliers annually, but also one of our favorite pre-flight overnighters in any major city.

Just 10 minutes by train or taxi from the airport itself, Narita City offers a quintessential Japanese experience -- and a side order of great eats as well. A little history Omotesando -- not quite what you had in mind, eh?This city’s history can be traced back over a thousand years to when the Naritasan Shinshoji Temple was founded in 940. And it would most likely have stayed a sleepy temple town if the Japanese government hadn’t decided to build an international airport in the 1960s on the surrounding farmland. The controversy over land purchases in the area aside, Narita is an unusual combo of old-school Japan and the modern airline industry, which makes for a very entertaining visit. From Narita Station make your way to the start of Omotesando Street, the main drag that runs through the town and takes you straight to Naritasan -- the famed Buddhist temple. The stores along this quaint “sando” sell the usual Japanese souvenirs from Hello Kitty to samurai swords, senbei crackers and sake, but there are lots of unique emporiums as well.

Find the taiko drum shop Mokufuda on the left-hand side of the road -- a popular stop during the annual Taiko Drum Festival held in spring and with tourists looking for a more substantial souvenir. A little further down on the right is a basket-weaving shop where you can watch the weaver on the floor in the middle of his tiny store as he crafts your tailor-made basket. While in the area, it’s a good idea to stop in at the Narita Tourist Pavilion halfway down the street, as it offers several brochures in English that will help you navigate the temple and the town. Eating and drinking Chrysanthemum Restaurant dishes up some stunning seafood.Like most Japanese towns, Narita has a fierce pride in the regional food items for sale in many of the shops and restaurants that line the street. Consider trying sweet azuki bean jelly (yokan), Japanese pickles (tsukemono) and the main attraction, broiled eel (unagi). For an authentic Japanese lunch or dinner try the Chrysanthemum Restaurant , a family business for 11 generations now. The sashimi is unbelievably fresh, the tempura and eel delicious.

Speaking of eel, the smell of the teriyaki sauce slapped onto the finished dish and the charcoal used to cook it hit you on the head on as you make your way along Omotesando. Talk about fresh -- these guys are still kicking.You can’t miss the low wooden table at Kawatoyo, where the eel master plunges his fist into a bucket, drives a nail through the unlucky catch’s head, then quickly skins and slices it into small strips ready to be thrown on the nearby grill. In the mood for a light snack? Consider some crunchy eel spine and a frothy Sapporo beer. Even if eel is not your thing, it’s still something to see. Unlike most Japanese cities, you will also find many restaurants catering to international visitors, albeit mostly “Crew.” You can’t miss the signs -- they’re all in English, something you don’t find much of in Japan. Good examples of international eateries include the New World Indian Restaurant and Galeteria , a Brazilian specialist. More on CNNGo: Japan's superb cheap eats Virgin on the ridiculous? Airline crew are welcome to rest. In a restaurant.

Like you do.As you make your way down the one-kilometer street to the temple, you can’t help but smack right into the The Barge Inn -- a British pub that wouldn’t look out of place in a London suburb. In the late 1990s when Virgin Atlantic owned various enterprises in Japan, including the Virgin record stores and movie theaters, Richard Branson decided to open a Narita bar where his employees could feel at home. Knowing the difficulty the average Japanese speaker had in pronouncing the word “Virgin,” the pub was named “Barge Inn” instead -- say it three times fast and you’ll understand why. Bryan Harmon, manager for the past 12 years, says The Barge Inn was like Club Med back in its heyday. But now, due to the economic situation and the popularity of short, 24-hour layovers he’s seeing fewer crewmembers in his pub and more locals. “It’s about 80 percent local Japanese and 20 percent crew,” he says. “When it started out, it was the reverse.” This establishment would be unique to Tokyo, never mind a usually overlooked airport town.

On the main level it resembles a typical British pub, complete with pool tables, foosball and even a fireplace. In the middle of the space there are steps down into a concrete, graffitied nightclub -- another distinctly un-Japanese touch. “We try to cater to everyone,” says Harmon. While the Barge is showing a little wear and tear these days, the food coming out of its huge kitchen is excellent -- pies, potatoes, roast chicken and more of what those Virgin staff surely crave. Crown jewel Finally, right at the end of Omotesando, you will arrive at the 1,000-year-old Naritasan temple. The complex is large and you could spend several hours walking around it, taking in some pretty impressive scenery -- particularly by airport town standards. Naritsan park , adjacent to the temple grounds, is filled with plum and cherry blossom in spring and red leafy trees in fall. It’s famous for a plum festival in late February and early March. New Year provides Narita with its one annual moment in the spotlight.

Several million visitors come to hear the temple bells toll 108 times at midnight, making it one of Japan’s most-visited temples during the holiday season -- second in the Kanto area only to Tokyo’s Meiji Shrine. Blame Branson if you're red-eyed on the red-eye tomorrow. While it may be a touch clichéd, no Japanese experience is complete without soaking in a hot spring. Five minutes by train from Narita Station you will find Yamato no Yu , a traditional Japanese onsen featuring both indoor and outdoor baths. It also offers massage and other spa services. And you don’t have to be laying over to enjoy this unusual airport town. “I've lived in Tokyo for 11 years and have been to Narita airport close to a hundred times,” says Jill Pulley, a speech therapist from New York. “But I had no idea what lay hidden in Narita City itself,” she says. “The temple and the traditional shops and restaurants are not what one would expect to find in a little town right by such a busy international airport.” Before you go Don't forget a bag of dried eel spines for the folks back home.

If visiting from the airport, you’ll need a minimum of four hours to make it back in time and get through immigration and customs. The Keisei line runs from both terminals to Narita Station for ¥250, while Narita City operates its own tourist bus from the airport. Options for staying overnight in Narita City include Kirinoya Inn , Backpackers Fuji , Narita Kikusui Hotel and Radisson Hotel .

- Quora Quora What's the best way to get to Narita Airport? Best value? Written Nov 20, 2010 I prefer taking the Keisei Bus ( ) or Airport Limousine ( ). They are very prompt in terms of departure time, a lot cheaper (~3000 yen) than Narita Express (NEX), very clean and comfortable (not that there are many dirty public transportation things in Japan), and overall more convenient since there are a lot more local origins. Despite having many options, they usually provide non-stop service to/fro the airport and run every 15 or 20 min. Like the trains, you can reserve tickets in advance, without specifying time until you get to the stop. NEX is expensive and only makes stops at huge, busy stations, which are a pain to get around with large luggages. On the buses, you don't have to deal with luggages yourself since you can check them in with personnel at the bus stop.

Just allow enough time for possible traffic through Tokyo's highway system (up to 3 hours from Kanagawa, but usually takes 1-1.5 hours from Tokyo, like from TCAT), but on average it's not any slower than NEX. Written Nov 20, 2010 NEX works very well. Bring an MP3 player or something if you're alone and it's night time, you'll get bored easily. You could use the metro as well, like Hoi said, but personally I'd sooner just pay the extra money and use NEX, as the trip there is already long enough. 143 Views Written Mar 7, 2014 THE ACCESS NARITA ( ) buses are a great option if you are looking for a cheap ride to Narita Airport (1,000 en). They have clean, comfortable buses departing every 30 minutes during the day from Ginza and Tokyo stations. Tickets are sold directly when boarding the bus and reservations can be made online until a day before.

Although I rarely seen their buses operating on full capacity, I recommend boarding from Ginza as it’s their first stop and/or placing a reservation the day prior boarding to avoid having to wait for the next bus. 129 Views Hotel nine hours Narita Airport, Japan - Booking.com 9.0 Ideally located inside Narita Airport’s Terminal 2, nine hours Narita Airport offers modern capsule rooms with a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi at public areas.

Review score Tokyo Narita Airport Guide & Reviews At 11:30pm they announced they would be handing out sleeping bags and so I queued up to get one along with water and some crackers. Found a quiet corner to lie down in and slept well. - Patrick Airport Overview Terminal 3. Photo credit: Minna To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down of what travellers have reported to us during their time at Tokyo Narita Airport. What to Expect The airport is divided into 3 terminals, T1, T2, and T3.

Terminal 3 houses low-cost carriers so the space is much smaller and the facilities more basic. This airport is sleep-friendly with many modern Japanese conveniences, including clean facilities, lots of charging spots, and decent sleeping areas. Staff and security are tolerant of overnight guests, but you should be prepared to present ID and proof of your ongoing flight. Free WiFi is available. See WiFi information in the airport guide below. Where to Sleep There’s not too many overnight travellers here. T1 is the most comfortable spot and security moves everyone to an area with benches and carpeting. Travellers have used the benches near the restaurants after they closed; it’s unclear if this is the same area the security guards corral everyone. Some travellers report that security staff did a routine check of passports and tickets to make sure everyone are travellers. Lights are turned down at night. T3 has a lot of bed-like couches. For uninterrupted sleep, there are days rooms in the transit area, sleep pods in the public area and several nearby hotels that provide a hotel shuttle. See Airport Hotels in the airport guide below. Good to Know Showers are available for a fee. See Showers in the airport guide below for locations.

Economy class travellers can buy entry to several airport lounges. See Airport Lounges in the airport guide below for locations and rates.

On return I will have a 5 hour lay over any hint to make the time fly at the airport. Report inappropriate content Travelers interested in this topic also viewed... Show Prices Aug 19, 2009, 4:19 AM Hi Frankie, At the best it will be about 6PM before you arrive at your hotel so that doesn't really leave time to do anything other than relax and settle in for the evening.

Getting a good nights rest wil help alleviate some of the jet lag to come. On return flight, even if on time, after getting through customs you won't have enough time to do much other than ride into Narita Town and Back. Remember if you go through Immigration / Customs and and go landside, you will have to allow at least an hour getting back through emigration to the gate lounge. Yes I know it may often be quicker than that but it pays to allow for Murphy's Law. Cheers. 3. Re: Narita Airport Oct 12, 2009, 12:11 PM I will be arriving at Narita airport this Sat 10/17 300pm and I hope someone can answer some of my questions. I stopped at Narita before but I always just follow the crowd to go to my next check in and wait there till I fly out this time I want to go outside even if its just outside the airport to kill my 4 hour layover.

Last time we were grouped and there was board that had stickers with our name we get our name and show it to them and then they ushered us to where the shuttle do I still do this and go to the shuttle and then look for customs & immigration just want to get an idea so I know what to expect when going out. What is the process when trying to leave with a US passport. Thanks Report inappropriate content 8. Re: Narita Airport Oct 14, 2009, 1:55 AM They are separate and distinct.
